 - IMPROVEMENT: Support timestamped SNAPSHOT versions from Maven repository (jira:IVY-1476[])
 - IMPROVEMENT: Update Commons VFS to 2.2
 - IMPROVEMENT: Ivy now supports activating of Maven profiles, in `pom.xml`, by `jdk`, `os`, `property` and `file` (jira:IVY-1558[]) and (jira:IVY-1577[])
+- IMPROVEMENT: Support link:https://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-4.5.x/tutorial/html/authentication.html[preemptive authentication]. (jira:IVY-1280[])
 
 - NEW: Lets SSH-based resolvers use an `~/.ssh/config` file to find username/hostname/keyfile options (Thanks to Colin Stanfill)
 - NEW: Add ivy.maven.lookup.sources and ivy.maven.lookup.javadoc variables to control the lookup of the additional artifacts. Defaults to true, for backward compatibility (jira:IVY-1529[])
